The quality of drinking water from wells may be compromised during a flood. Flooding around the well increases the risk of drinking water becoming contaminated with bacteria or any other contaminants, rendering it unsafe to drink and for washing food items. Furthermore, entry of foreign objects into the well could damage various components of the well system and create personal injury risk. This circular describes what you should do if your well has been contaminated by a flood.In this publication, “flood” describes water from heavy rain, storms, or hurricanes that spills or seeps into a household drinking water well.
